Taelor Hodges, Owner & Stylist

Hi, I’m Taelor, the proud new owner of Juniper James! While I didn’t start this beautiful boutique, I was thrilled to take the reins in November 2024, bringing my passion for weddings and curating unforgettable experiences to this wonderful space. My journey began eight years ago as a wedding planner, helping couples craft the most memorable days of their lives. I have a degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management from Appalachian State, where I developed a deep love for creating exceptional experiences and curating moments that leave a lasting impression.

I’ve always been enchanted by the wedding world, and after marrying my amazing husband in 2017 and becoming a mom to our sweet little boy, I was inspired to bring my love for hospitality into a new chapter of my life. Juniper James is a place where brides are treated like family, celebrated at every step, and guided to find a gown that makes them feel as radiant as their love story.

Outside of the boutique, I love indulging in date nights at romantic, moody restaurants (they’re my absolute fave), thrifting for hidden treasures, and traveling to explore new towns. I also love spending time with my family outdoors—whether it’s hiking, lake days, or a fun game of pickleball, I’m always making memories with the people I cherish most.

I’m so honored to be a part of your bridal journey and can’t wait to help you find the perfect gown that will make you feel beautiful, loved, and celebrated.

Why I Love Juniper James

What drew me to Juniper James is the unique, magical atmosphere that’s felt as soon as you step inside. There’s something so special about this space—it’s a safe, welcoming environment where every bride can feel like the center of attention, free to embrace her journey. I love how Juniper James has reimagined the bridal experience with its vintage, eclectic aesthetic, softened by a playful, girly twist and unexpected decor that makes it feel like no other boutique.

But my absolute favorite part is witnessing that unforgettable moment when a bride knows she’s found “the one.” The look of pure joy, the happy tears shared with her mother or loved ones—it’s the most magical, intimate part of the experience, and it’s an honor to be a part of those moments.
